9 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, ^(A)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.

²⁸ And God blessed them. And God said to them, ^(A)“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

¹⁹ These three were the sons of Noah, and ^(A)from these the people of the whole earth were dispersed.^[a]

¹⁷ Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—that they may swarm on the earth, and ^(A)be fruitful and multiply on the earth.”
